Ps 165 Ida Posner

Summary:

PS 165 Ida Posner is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 193 students. It is part of the New York City Geographic District #23, which is ranked 691 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 165 Ida Posner has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had higher proficiency rates than the district and state in 3rd grade ELA, 5th grade ELA, 3rd grade Math, and 4th grade Math. However, the school struggled in 4th grade ELA and 5th grade Science. The school has also shown strengths in supporting specific student groups, such as ranking in the top 500 out of over 2,000 New York elementary schools for its performance with Special Education students and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Compared to nearby schools like PS/IS 323, Riverdale Avenue Community School, and PS 41 Francis White, PS 165 Ida Posner generally performs better on state assessments, particularly in Math, but struggles more in 4th grade ELA and 5th grade Science.

Despite the school's overall performance challenges, it has seen a steady increase in spending per student, from $24,872 in 2019-2020 to $39,594 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the spending per student at many of the nearby schools. However, this high spending has not necessarily translated to consistently strong academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a deeper analysis of the school's strategies and resource allocation to drive more consistent and improved academic performance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
